What if the end of the year was celebrated with a little video game poetry in your pocket? While the Epic Games Store releases a new free game every day to celebrate Christmas, the platform hits hard in parallel with a unexpected gift on mobile: the sublime Monument Valley And Monument Valley 2 are downloadable for free until January 1, 2026.
Few words, no shots, no anxiety-inducing countdown. Here, there is room for calm, reflection, and visual beauty. Far from blockbusters, these independent games offer a rare interlude. And thanks to the Epic Games Store, this experience is now at your fingertips… or rather, your smartphone.
Two gems of mobile gaming finally accessible for free
First part of the series, Monument Valley had already made mobile gaming history upon its release. “Monument Valley is available until January 1, 2026 on the mobile version of the store”. Designed by British studio ustwo gamesit invites players to solve architectural puzzles where the laws of gravity seem to have been suspended.
We embody Idaa silent princess moving in pastel settings straight out of an MC Escher dream. “Your mission is to guide Princess Ida in a minimalist, but captivating setting.” Invisible walls, impossible stairs, optical illusions to manipulate: everything in the game encourages you to observe, think… then smile when you find the solution.
Monument Valley 2, an intimate suite for two voices
Successful, a sequel has seen the light of day. And good news: it is also offered by Epic Games during the same period. “Monument Valley 2 is therefore also available for free until January 1, 2026.” This time, the story changes: we no longer follow a solitary princess, but a mother and her child. “this time, guide a mother and her child through this magical architecture full of puzzles”.
If the gameplay takes up the mechanisms of the first opus, the narration gains in sensitivity. The link between the two characters becomes central, supported by fluid animations and a delicate soundtrack. Everything retains this recognizable aesthetic: impossible geometry, pastel colors, immersive musical environment.
